Health Alert: Stop The Use Of Vaginal Tightening Creams, They Will Make You Infertile – Gynecologists Warns
One cream that is currently being sold in Ghana like sachet water is ‘Vaginal tightening creams’.
These creams have clogged into the Ghanaian market as if they contain oxygen.
They come in different types, sizes and brands and are currently the topic of discussion where two or more women are gathered.
Not only that but they are also heavily advertised on the various airwaves and social media platforms.
A few celebrities are also brand ambassadors of these creams or companies producing them.
As a result, almost every lady in Ghana now has some of these creams or wash in their washrooms.
Many are trying it because they were referenced by their friends who have used and claim they’re good.
Some are also trying it just because of curiosity and others too because of peer pressure.
But the question is do these vaginal wash and creams really solve the problem for which they’re being used?
If yes, then are they really safe to use, don’t the have side effects, can they be used without a doctor’s recommendation.
What then are vaginal tightening creams/gel or pills?
It is believed that these creams increase the feeling in the vaginal walls and muscles by making them tighter. As a result, they increase libido in women. Others also state that they enable quicker lubrication which reduces any side effects of dry vaginal walls such as wounds or cuts.
Many of these Ghanaian women use them to tighten the walls of their vaginas in order to please their partners. They believe that men love tight h*les, hence these creams is their savior.
The vagina, as we all know is elastic in nature. Hence, there are many women who complain of having loose vaginas after child birth. However, there are women who are born with loose vaginas. They therefore believe that, using these creams/gels will help tighten them a bit.
However, Dr. Titus Beyou, a gynaecologist has explained that claims that such creams/gels/pills are effective in tightening the walls of the vagina is completely false.
Instead, Dr. Titus stated that these products cause infections and have serious health implications on the women who use them.
The vagina as it is known is a self-cleaning organ and all that one requires to wash it is plain water and nothing else.
Dr. Titus was speaking to Kwame Tutu on Rainbow Radio 87.5Fm.
According to him, the majority of yeast infections reported at the hospital were as a result of the use of these tightening creams and products. He stated that not only did these harmful products cause infections, they also cause infertility as well.
‘’You only need water and not creams or drugs. The use of such creams will only cause infertility and infections in women,’’ he warned.
